6/18/16 - "West Shore Railroad"

The West Shore Railroad was the final name of a railroad from Weehawken, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from New York City, north along the west shore of the river to Albany, New York and then west to Buffalo. It was organized as a competitor to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, but was soon taken over by that company. This view is from the Bear Mountain Bridge, looking upriver - that is, to the north.
